The Financial Supervision Commission reviewed and adopted at first vote amendments to Ordinance No. 61 of 27.09.2018 on the requirements for advertising and written information materials and Internet pages of pension insurance companies. The aim is to comply with the changes made by the Act to Amend and Supplement the Social Insurance Code (promulgated SG No. 19/2021), by unifying the information provided by pension insurance companies upon request by the persons insured in the supplementary pension insurance funds

The proposed amendments:

– approve templates of the statements from the analytical accounts of the persons receiving deferred payments from the deferred payment funds and of the information on the achieved real profitability on the analytical accounts;

– regulate the method used by pension insurance companies to calculate the real return on the analytical account of a person receiving payments from a deferred payment fund, i.e. the use of the money-weighted method is envisaged, which is also used to calculate the real return on the individual account in a supplementary pension insurance fund;

– the requirements to the form and content of the information on the volume and structure of investments by types of assets and issuers of financial instruments of the payment funds, the achieved profitability and the level of investment risk in the management of payment funds and their public disclosure by pension insurance companies.

The draft ordinance updates Ordinance No. 47 of 11.07.2012 on the requirements for the information systems of pension insurance companies, and it is also developed in relation to the payment activities of the funds.

The draft and the reasons for it are published on the website of the Financial Supervision Commission in the section Regulations, subsection Public Consultations, and the deadline for submitting comments and proposals on the draft is 14 days from its publication until 22.06.2021 inclusive.
